Why's that embarrassing? You never do because of pride and most teams are out of a hat, so surely it shouldn't be any different?
If we meet in the play-offs I know, for an absolute fact, that if your fans act with the lack of class they showed last time, I will level Brighton with all the explosives I can muster.
My occasional friendly dislike of you would descend into unadulterated murder. I think many of our fans will always hate you a bit for that.
We started last season at home to Walsall (they didn't have a shot on goal ALL game, and beat us 1-0.. work that one out), because Pride was a week later than usual. But they've confirmed that the event will be the same day as the football league opening day next season. There's an "understanding" with the FA though, that clubs with new grounds start at home. Note Chesterfield today. But we can't start at home with Pride, because there won't be enough police there.
Could you atleast not murder ME? The rest, they're fair game.
If it had been the other way around, I would always hate you too. I was there that night, it is the 2nd greatest night I've had at the Withdean. And now I'm getting all nostalgic... beating Cheaterfield 1-0 to win the old Division 3.. beating Man City on penalties... getting waterlogged SKIN it was so wet one friday night when we lost 4-3 to Rochdale... when a HOLE opened up in the pitch against Hartlepool, and we had to fill it with sand, delaying the game about 10 minutes...
